The inception of

Art Brut occurred at an afterparty hosted by indie duo Ciccone, when Argos approached fellow carouser Chris Chinchilla and asked if he’d want to put a band together. Chinchilla figured it was a chance to play his guitar and meet girls, so he signed up, and his flatmate Frederica aka Freddy Feedback was talked into playing bass, which the guys sourced for her off eBay. Argos’ friend Ian Catskilkin, a guitarist formerly of a heavy rock band Orco, had recently moved from Bournemouth, so he was in. That just left a drummer – always the hardest instrumentalist to recruit. Destiny danced when a friend of the band overheard a German man on a bus telling someone he played drums and worked in Merc, a clothing store on Carnaby Street. So, they tracked the man, Mikey Breyer, down and asked him to join the band, completing the inaugural line up.

All they had to do now was to tell their tale. And before we go any further, let’s just get this out of our system: FORMED A BAND, WE FORMED A BAND! LOOK AT US, WE FORMED A BAND!
